The Solidarity Project is proud to share our continued success with community-driven change in Honduras! Thanks to you and your support, Honduran community leaders received micro-grants to enact positive changes in their communities.
Since our last report, your support has allowed us to fund four more community designed projects and expand our Mesa Comunitaria (Community Table) community-driven development program to two new rural villages in Honduras!
In August, the rural village of Majada Verde held its second Mesa Comunitaria micro-granting event and in October, the rural village of El Aguacatal held its first microgrant event! During the planning process, our Honduran Project Director, Gloria Artiaga, worked with the community and their local leadership team to help identify the most pressing problems and cultivate local leaders to develop solutions to meet their community’s needs. On the day of the microgrant event, community members came out to support their village and vote for projects designed by community leaders. In Majada Verde, the two winning projects selected were: improvements to the village’s water tank and improvements to a community church. In El Aguacatal, the two winning projects selected were: building a community stage and improvements to the local school. We are excited to see how these projects improve the lives of the citizens in these two rural Honduran villages!
With your support, The Solidarity Project is thrilled that we are able to expand our community development work to two more Honduran villages: El Tule and Coa Abajo. We look forward to working with these communities to help them design solutions and develop leaders to address their most pressing problems. Thanks to your help, we are excited to continue our work supporting Honduran community leaders in their visions for creating positive social change!
